No Solar Panels on Fertile Farmland Act of 2025
HR 1080, the "No Solar Panels on Fertile Farmland Act of 2025," amends federal tax codes to exclude solar energy projects on "prime farmland" from key clean energy tax credits. The bill defines "prime farmland" using the USDA's standard (7 CFR §657.5) and removes eligibility for residential solar credits (Section 25D), production credits (Section 45), investment credits (Section 48), and clean electricity credits (Sections 48E and 45Y) for projects on such land. This directly affects solar developers and property owners seeking these tax incentives for installations on designated prime farmland. The policy change applies to projects placed in service after the bill's enactment date.
